| why don't video games count as works of fiction?

| Can I create a subpage with a bunch of trivia questions?[[User:Magic Koopa Guy|Magic Koopa Guy]] ([[User talk:Magic Koopa Guy|talk]]) 18:20, 25 February 2013 (EST)

| ==Thanks==
| |
| Oh, that's why i can't create my own userpage xD thanks for the help. --[[User:Zzzleepy|Zzzleepy]] ([[User talk:Zzzleepy|talk]]) 16:12, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

| |
| == Um... ==
| |
|
| |
| Is it part of the rules to say this kind of language on someone's talk page? [[User_talk:MeritC#Mona_infobox_image]] It sorta disturbs me a little bit....{{User:SUPERZ/Sig2}}
| |
|
| |
| :We do have a rule about vulgar and blatantly inappropriate language, but this isn't the case here. It varies with people's sensitivity, and such discussion between friends shouldn't be intervened like this. Though, if it really does bother you then I'll happy to change what I said.

| ok. :) {{User:SUPERZ/Sig2}}

| == Shouldn't the "userpage" be "user page"? ==
| |
|
| |
| That's how it's formatted on the tabs on the top of a page. Alternatively, change that into one word. {{User:Misty/sig}} 13:46, 12 May 2014 (EDT)

| == Userspace Redirect ==
| |
|
| |
| Are redirects to certain subpages allowed? I'm planning on creating two redirects to my sig. User:Fawful's Minion/Signature and User:Fawful's Minion/Sig. I saw [[Special:Contributions/Marioguy1|Marioguy1]] do this and I was wondering if this still applies now. {{User:Fawful's Minion/sig}} 18:52, 26 August 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Why would you need a redirect to your signature? As long as you enter your "sig" subpage correctly in your preferences (which you appear to have done so), no other page link is necessary. [[MarioWiki:Signature]] says that your signature subpage "must be /sig, and just '''one''' subpage".
| |
|
| |
| :The only redirects permitted to your subpages are those which are created when your username is changed, and when you move one of your subpages to a different title (such as an article draft page). In both cases, a redirect is left behind automatically. I would not encourage manually creating various redirects for your personal convenience.

| == Shortcuts ==
| |
|
| |
| I added [[SMW:US]] as a shortcut (because '''U'''ser'''s'''pace), but the page is protected. Can an admin add the shortcut to the page? -{{User:YoshiFlutterJump/sig}} 12:17, 26 November 2017 (EST)

| == Question ==
| |
|
| |
| Do we have the right to add thing that annoy us in the wiki? I can't ask for permission to Owencrazyboy9, since he's blocked, so i ask here. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 02:27, September 23, 2019 (EDT)

| :As long as you're not calling out or making fun of any specific users, I don't have a problem with it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 09:57, September 23, 2019 (EDT)

| ::Sure, it's not about users. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 06:44, September 24, 2019 (EDT)

| |
| == User Rules ==
| |
|
| |
| A new user has to be a member of the wiki for at least one week and make at least ten edits before they can create pages, including their own user page.
| |
|
| |
| ಠ_ಠ
| |
|
| |
| IDK Seems a little harsh to me but maybe it's because on Pikipedia I only had to wait 24 hours to create my Userpage {{unsigned|LongTailCat3}}
| |
| :That rule was implemented to curb vandalism and people who register on MarioWiki only to self-promote themselves than contribute to the wiki. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 19:24, March 18, 2021 (EDT)
| |
| ::One week does seem a bit long. I think 3 days might suffice for a waiting period for creating pages. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 19:39, March 18, 2021 (EDT)
| |
| :::I do agree that a week is a bit long and vandalsim isn't as rampant as it once was (most of it is from drive-by IPs rather than creating spammy pages) and from my experience, 3 day blocks baps most vandals I've dealt with but I think this needs agreement from within us to enact change. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 20:33, March 18, 2021 (EDT)
| |
| ::::I'm quite surprised this doesn't include uploading images, I recall a few users getting blocked recently for signing up and immediately uploading spam images. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 20:44, March 18, 2021 (EDT)
| |
| :::::Gives people long enough to realize they're supposed to be here for helping with information, not gaining publicity within the community. We've had a few users recently ask how to make their userpace immediately after joining (see [[MarioWiki talk:FAQ]]). I suppose a week is a bit too long right now with our current moderation team, but that'd be something Porplemontage handles. It's also not just a userpage prevention measure, it applies to all page creations. Bots and vandals will continue to try to make pages even after the autoconfirm day limit has passed, but won't be able to because they either a) haven't reached the edit limit or b) are blocked before they get the chance. I get people don't like waiting, but that's kind of the point here. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:50, March 18, 2021 (EDT)

| == Question about user page content and sub-pages. ==
| |
|
| |
| What if you have 1 or more sections in a user page that are really big? {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 16:58, December 12, 2023 (CST)
| |
|
| |
| :Sections can be as long as however you want. There's no restrictions on how you organise your userpage (as long as they don't [[MarioWiki:Userspace#What_should_I_avoid.3F|interfere with the wiki's appearance]]); it's mainly the content itself that's the concern in the policy. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:29, December 13, 2023 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| ::Ah, Ok. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 09:00, December 13, 2023 (CST)
| |
|
| |
| == A kinda-related-but-could-considered-no-related topic. ==
| |
|
| |
| So I recently asked about what would a user need to do if their userpage had 1 or more sections that were really big, and {{User:Mario_jc/sig}} said a userpage section could be as long "as however you want." But that got me thinking. What about those custom infoboxes I see on many userpages? Are they allowed, or not? {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 11:52, December 19, 2023 (CST)
| |
|
| |
| :You're welcome to use and reformat any of the [[:Category:Infobox templates|mainspace infoboxes]] on your userpage. Often people like to take the source code of those templates and customise the colours/fields for themselves. As long as it doesn't somehow add a mainspace category to your userpage, you're fine.

|
| |
| ::Ok. Thank you. I'll try to not "somehow add a mainspace category to my userpage". {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 07:37, December 20, 2023 (CST)
